John Coogan on Soylent, Lucy, Founders Fund, and TBPN adds YouTube as John Coogan’s post-Lucy media surface.

And are social media companies liable? adds YouTube as a defendant alongside Meta in a Los Angeles lawsuit alleging addictive social-media design and youth mental-health harms.

The Social Radars Season 2 Wrap-Up and Season 3 Announcement adds YouTube as a clip-distribution surface for The Social Radars. Jessica Livingston and Carolyn Levy say they plan to get more video clips out for Season 3, making YouTube a supplement to the podcast archive rather than the primary source format.

The Social Radars Season Five Update updates that posture for Season Five: the hosts say full podcast episodes will be released on YouTube, not only clips. The source makes YouTube part of the show’s main distribution expansion while still preserving the audio-podcast and archive context.

The episode’s forward-looking claim is that pure overseas distribution may become less defensible as AI subtitles, translation, and dubbing improve. Distributors may need to provide deeper value through AI Video Production Workflow, IP sourcing, creator services, platform communication, and packaging rather than only uploading and localizing files.

Ron Conway on Google’s Early History and SV Angel’s Role adds YouTube through Ron Conway’s Google relationship and media/internet convergence thesis.
